Who’s your Hero?

Pandemic Portraiture during an unprecedented historical time

These are two local heroes hand-drawn in Charcoal, a media that goes back thousands of years, to commemorate and honor their selfless frontline work to help others. Joe Dinova, a third generation grocer, provided groceries while keeping his employees on staff and safe. Patience M. from the Naugatuck CVS put herself in constant contact with the public by providing pharmaceutical services. These portraits have been gifted by the artist as a token of thanks during an unprecedented worldwide health pandemic.
